Cute and non-threatening patterns for cute baby shower gifts. By non-threatening, I mean that there is more emphasis on cuteness than technical wizardry. Awesome! The one thing I don't like about this book is the author's near cannibalistic love for babies' heads. She's all "They smell so good! They are so fuzzy! BABIES! GAH!" Cool it, ma'am.
One of my favorite books for knitting. I have made several hats out of this book and used the directions in here as a jumping board for hats for myself and other grown-up sized heads. The directions are wonderful and spelled out very clearly. I think someone jumping into douple points for the first time would have no problem if they followed Susan Anderson's directions. Well written and adorable results.

This book has some very adorable hats for babies and toddlers. I have personally made five of them, and all of the instructions were easy to read. In fact, this is the first knitting book I owned, and I learned how to knit from the techniques section in the first part of the book. The technique section of the book is so well-written that I keep it at my side while I'm knitting, just in case I need to reference it.
Made the Little Chick Hat from this book (with no chicks) and a few other modifications for my cousin who is having a little girl in October. I made the hat in one night which gives me hope that I would be able to make some of the other hats without making a huge time commitment. The majority of the hats in the book are very cute and look like they would be fun to make.
I've only made one hat from this book, but the instructions were clear and I like that the edition I have is a spiral hardback. Makes it easy to flip open to the pattern and keep it there. Some of the hats are a little crazy and for me, don't look worth the effort, but they are fun.
This is the best baby hat pattern book of all of them I've tried. You can't go wrong with either starter hat pattern 1 or 2, and the more advanced hats are adorable. The pattern is eacy to understand and follow. Overall, one of the best knitting books I own and love.
A great book for first-time hat knitters. The directions are clear and the step-by-step directions are very easy to follow. There are a lot of really cute hats in the book. I do wish that the book included a few lighter or summer hats.
This is a fabulous book if you are trying to find a great pattern or two for a knitted baby hat. The book also comes with great knitting instructions for the beginner or if you are a little rusty in your knitting skills, like me! I want to knit each hat!!!
Great hat patterns! Made four hats so far from this book - such fun! Grandkids look so cute in them - and Jan in her birthday cake hat!
My favorite ever knitting book. I love baby hats and this book as lots. Plus great instructions for when I get lost.
Love this book. Can't wait to find it cheap on Amazon. The hats (most of them) are adorable!
Every hat from this book has turned out incredibly well -- I highly highly recommend it!
I made the cutest little flower-dropped-on-your-baby's-head hat from this book.
This book is a great intro to knitting hats. I recommend it for people who know how to knit but have not yet learned knitting hats. The pros: easy patterns, creative embelishments, a great tutorial in the front. The cons: once you get the basics down this book isn't helpful anymore - there are no creative elements to the stiches (only creative embelishments). Overall, I say buy it if you want to learn how to knit hats but get it cheap on amazon.com!
This was such a sweet book. The hats were inventive and cute. I wanted to knit several different patterns. The photographs were lovely and the children they picked to model the hats were absolutely adorable. I definitely enjoyed looking through this book and I am planning on knitting a couple of the designs. I'd recommend this book.

Very cute! Can't wait to whip up some of these adorable caps for the kids!
I have made a few hats from this very charming book. I only had probles with one. It is a darling book with many hats made from the same basic pattern. I have read complaints from some knitters, however I feel this is an excellent book! I enjoyed knitting the hats and Susan B. Anderson LOVES her craft. I am now on the search for her "Itty-Bitty Nursery".
I read this book and within 1 day I went from not knowing how to knit to completing a super cute little hat. I've since made several more for friends' babies. All three friends asked where I bought the hats...This is a great beginner knitter book. Experienced knitters may find it too elementary.
This book inspired me to learn to knit. The patterns are adorable, well written and easy to follow. The color photos in this book make it fun just to look through. I have used some of the little hats I have made for baby gifts and plan to donate the rest to Primary Childrens Hospital.

Very cute patterns and really easy instructions. I learned new techniques, including 3-needle bind-off and backward loop cast on. The instructions at the beginning are really good and I may have to buy this as a reference (I borrowed it from the library).
I don't care if you have babies in your life or not -- after you see these adorable patterns, you'll be knitting these hats for your dogs, cats, and babies you see on the street! The hats are whimsical, fun, and unexpected -- and totally cute. LOVE IT.
Just ordered this book.
This has the world's cutest babies in some pretty cute hats. I'm a little miffed that the sizes listed don't include actual measurements, so my gauge error went blissfully undetected. Hence a hat for a toddler, rather than a baby.
Super cute book, super cute hats, very simple start with many options to make rather extravagent. Lots of pictures, very easy to follow. Love the spiral bound so the book stays open without needing to be anchored.
Everything I have made from this book has been cute, adorable, perfect and lovely. This is the book that taught me to knit!!! Wonderful sweet projects for cute baby heads.
T has this book
Yup. Once I had my hands on Itty Bitty Nursery, I quickly discovered my need for baby patterns was not yet sated. Fun patterns for the unique baby.
Adorable hat patterns to knit. You will need to be able to crochet to add some of the embellishments. I want to make almost every one.
I LOVE this book!! I just made Noah his first hat from this book. The designs are really cute and have helpful instructions!
Love this book - have already made 2 of the hats and working on the 3rd now. I plan to make several others from this book also.
